Florida for reference. Getting redder by the day.

As compared to FLORIDA?! You will be the happiest non-binary dark-skinned person on the planet.

The worst that will happen to you in S Glastonbury is some old white person will look at you for an extra second or two. And before you know it, you’ll be sharing stories about how shitty Florida is and it will be fine.

I am originally from CT, moved to Florida in 2015 and just moved back. Initially we loved it, but as time went on the rose colored glasses came off and we started to see how Florida is really just a place to vacation, not live. The people seem friendly but it's all a facade. Over the past few years it got more crowded, rude and hyper partisan. Every other house has some vulgar political flag flying and a lot of the people are fake or crazy. Also, the infrastructure is horrible and I don't see them taking any steps to make it better.

We're so glad to be back. People might not be as initially friendly and welcoming but they're real and will help you when you need it.

My in-laws used to have a condo in West Palm Beach, right on the water (multi-generational ownership). Going down there, got to see the "nice" section of town as well as the "COPS" sections.

Happy in New England.
